@hannorein@mastodon.social I don't think it [edit: I typoed "I" here and only just noticed] was whining, it was trying to sound "insightful" (and argue that we "understood" why humans make reasoning errors (without mathematics) about rare events). This was a bit before the current "AI can solve everything, omg" hype cycle.

@hannorein@mastodon.social in addition, I think the thing people miss about physics-based models is that they also validate our understanding of systems - a statistical fit just "gives answers" without really telling us much about *why*, which is surely the point of science?
